The square-cube law is the rule saying that if you increase something’s size, its volume will also increase proportionally.
Ie: if you have a 1x1x1 cube it’s volume is 1, but if you have a 2x2x2 cube it’s volume is 8.
With mech design, making a huge bipedal robot means putting a massive amount of weight on relatively weak joints at the legs.

Thanks, I don’t think I like the square-cube law. Just make the joints stronger. It’ll be fine!
